I think we can leave reset management in CODEC (as it will be almost the
same for all platforms), leave enable pin management in CODEC unused,
but attach enable GPIO to spi_board_info in platform to enable other SPI
devices on bus.

Hartley, in this case we cannot use existing cs4271_platform_data and
have to leave long if-else statemens as is. Would it be ok?
